I volunteered at ARTFEST last year and had a blast. If you're volunteering, I recommend requesting to be one of the angels. The angels watch over the booths when the artists need to take a break for a few minutes. Instead of selling t-shirts and beer, you're helping out the artists.

ARTFEST is one of the premier Fine Arts shows & festivals in the nation, integrating fine art, kids arts, music, performing arts, artists demonstrations and fun for everyone. Over 200 artists will showcase fine art for every taste, fancy or budget, including paintings, sculptures, wood working, iron works, jewelry and much, much more . There will also be a Live Music Stage featuring local & regional musicians and a Cultural Arts Stage featuring artists demonstrations by ARTFEST artists and performances by cultural arts organizations from all over the Metroplex.

ARTFEST is produced by The 500 Inc., a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization whose purpose is to raise vital financial, volunteer and training support for the Dallas arts community. Proceeds from ARTFEST benefit cultural arts organizations in Dallas.

The bad thoughts start taking place in their minds and the rest of the work is done by the Bollywood movies. They think that they all are lucky and have faces like the Hollywood actress they will find someone extremely rich so why should they needed to study?

Good news for the volunteers who are having interest to show their talent in front of peoples. These kind of show give the people's motivation and they are organized in the open park places which is good and healthy environment symbol.
